Don't go outside your house to see flowers.
My friend, don't bother with that excursion.
Inside your body, there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens.--Kabir

I really like that photo of the broad aloe leaves. Sharp and well composed.
